10 Cleaning Hacks You Probably Didn’t Know
Clean Out Your Vacuum With A Seam Ripper
A seam ripper will actually clean out all of the tightly wound hairs and gunk around your vacuum brush and roller. It is much more effective than using your hands – trust us!
Use Baking Soda Instead Of Bleach On Grout
Over time, bleach can destroy your grout lines. Instead, use a solution of baking soda and warm water to clean out gross grout. Using a microfiber cloth, soak it in warm water, apply a few drops of soap and just wipe off the baking soda concoction!
Bring That Soap-Dispensing Sponge Into Your Tub
While we’re in the bathroom, here’s a handy time-saver. Using those sponges that automatically dispense soap, scrub your wet bathtub. Fill the sponge with the trusty baking soda, warm water and dish soap solution and clean away!
Olive Oil Cleans Leather Furniture
It may sound odd but rubbing olive oil over scratches on leather furniture actually works! Let it set for an hour and then wipe off with a damp cloth to have the leather looking shiny and clean.
Use Baking Soda And Vinegar On Your Windows
The insides of your windows, called the window tracks, can collect a buildup of dust, debris, insect carcasses and much more disgusting items. To keep them looking sharp, sprinkle baking soda into the track, spritz vinegar over it and wipe up with a damp cloth. Voila! Completely clean windows!
Use Baby Wipes For Spills
For fresh stains, simply clean up or dab with a baby wipe. They are perfect pet stain picker uppers too!
Increase Towel Absorbency With Baking Soda And Vinegar
So, baking soda and vinegar just might be your new best friend. You can use this concoction to increase the absorbency power of your towels! Wash your towels with one cup of vinegar and hot water. After that, run them through another cycle with a half of a cup of baking soda and hot water. Two washer cycles = AMAZING!
Freshen Up Your Mattress With Some Baking Soda
Mattresses can be dirty little things. They are chock-full of dead skin cells and other particles. For a deeper clean, vacuum the exterior of the mattress and then apply a solution of hydrogen peroxide, three tablespoons of baking soda (our bff!) and a drop of dish soap. You can’t let the concoction sit so make the time to get this done.
You’ll want to spray the entire mattress and let it sit until it is completely dry. Vacuum it one more time and then it’s ready for use. Occasionally, spruce your mattress up by sprinkling a little baking soda on there and vacuuming it.
Cream Of Tartar Cleans Your Stainless Steel
Wet a sponge and apply a bit of cream of tartar to it. Wipe down all of your stainless steel and then rinse to see it sparkle!
